WD Caviar Black Desktop Hard Drives

WD Black hard drives are designed for enthusiasts and creative professionals looking for leading-edge performance. These 3.5-inch desktop drives are perfect for high-performance applications like photo and video editing, gaming and power PCs.

  • Maximum Performance: Sophisticated performance enhancing features deliver the speed you need for demanding applications like photo and video editing and Internet gaming.
  • No Compromises: High performance, high capacity, high reliability, and cutting-edge technology make up WD Black, the ideal drive for those who demand only the best.
  • Dynamic Cache: WD’s dynamic caching algorithm improves performance in real time by optimizing cache allocation between reads and writes. For example, if there’s an overwhelming percentage of read traffic as opposed to write traffic, the drive automatically allocates more cache for read data, which reduces congestion and improves overall drive performance.
  • Rock-Solid Mechanical Architecture: Enhanced reliability features help protect the drive and the data stored on it.
  • Dual Actuator Technology: A head positioning system with two actuators that improves positional accuracy over the data track(s). The primary actuator provides coarse displacement using conventional electromagnetic actuator principles. The secondary actuator uses a piezoelectric motor to fine tune the head positioning to a higher degree of accuracy. (2 TB and 1.5 TB models only)
  • StableTrac: The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations. (2 TB and 1.5 TB models only)
  • NoTouch Ramp Load Technology: The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media, as well as better drive protection in transit.
  • Massive Capacity: WD Caviar Black SATA drives are available in capacities up to 10 TB. Compatible: We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Lab and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems.

     Best Fit Applications

  • Power computing applications such as multimedia, video and photo editing, and maxed out gaming computers.
  • Desktop / Consumer RAID Environments - WD Caviar Black Hard Drives are tested and recommended for use in consumer type RAID applications (RAID-0 /RAID-1).
